Support NeoGAF

[Steelyuhas]

I wouldn't be able to play without the weight of them. The wired controller is already light enough, it would just be unnerving to me for it be any lighter. I even added a metal weight to my mouse.

I cannot even use the wired controllers at all because they are so light. I need some weight to my controller.

I need rumble, I depend on it. Whenever I haven't played with rumble, I don't react fast enough to being shot.

Basically how I feel. The rumble is just another form of feedback that helps me. Rumble is not nearly strong enough to affect my aim in my opinion.

 

[Tha Robbertster]

You guys are making me interested. I'm going to turn of my rumble tonight and see the results.

halo 1 beginning now!

Donated ($7.77, :lol). Started watching right at the credits of Halo 2.

Yeah I saw that too. HaloGAF, here's what we're talking about:

Hmm. Curiouser and Curiouser. T-shirts look really cool, though. Love the (somewhat) minimalist designs that I've been seeing so far (like The Ancients posters) for Aerospace and Destiny.

Also couldn't find Jason Jones at first. Looks like since he's been hanging around Marty for so long, he's also caught "the old".

it mainly affects me when I'm sniping. if I get knocked out of scope, the rumble affects how far the reticule goes when I react

I would like to see that tested. I almost want to say it is all in your head.

it probably is, but a placebo effect is still an effect, right? I just found myself doing better in Halo 3 once I turned it off and it's been pretty good for me so far.

I wish Halo PC didn't have a horrible netcode. I can't seem to hit anyone when I play.

[Hey You]

BTB All Stars playlist is up.

Edit: God damn it Bungie, BTB Snipers on fucking Wayont? I hope whoever manages the playlists actually thinks things through.

Blame MS and Bungie wanting to support 56K. Gearbox was just going to use their current model but were told differently.

SCRUB. You have to lead your shots. Second nature to me.

 

[Account Attempt #4]

Ever since my wife washed my lucky jock strap, my game has gone down hill.

 

[Steelyuhas]

SCRUB. You have to lead your shots. Second nature to me.

The amount you have to lead is ridiculous. Halo PC is kind of a joke IMO.

 

[CortanaV]

I go to Starbucks instead of NeoGAF and people beat me to the punch. Damnit.

Yaaay shirt ARGs!

Snipers no shields bloodgulch took way more skill than any of these console games. Hitscan? PFT.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I tossed together what I'm hoping to see from the Firefight map included with CEA.



There are a lot of possibilities, and I'm really hoping to see at least a few of the ones I run through incorporated.

well apparently they didnt.

worst gametype for that map period.

Oh my, this just put the fear of god into me. Why must my cynical mind draw the most dire of conclusions. I hope we get the Warthog, but we probably will get the rocket hog

I'm just saying it so it doesn't happen.

Final Firefight

As much as I'd love to see a regular Warthog on a Firefight map, I still can't get the thought of a Flamethrower Hog out of my head. Or how about a regular Warthog that shoots out bullets normally, but those bullets are flame bullets?!

And that, is why I hate the AR.

Number 1 wish for Halo 4. Weapons that aren't like that. Make it so the user actually has to aim the weapon.

Has this been known before that video? That is the first I have seen of such a test with an AR.

I knew that very little aiming with the AR was required, but I never knew it was that bad.

All Stars is up. There are ~7000 people in it right now.

Typo? "Link up with the B.net" is a line right out of ODST.

The hell? I played 5 games of Invasion where is it? :/

EDIT: Nevermind. If I'm in a party of people who can't play it, it won't load.

Calm down guys bloom has been in Halo since the original. Sage was hired as the lead designer because nobody at Bungie could devise a way to actually show the player what was going on. I will be extremely disappointed if Halo CEA removes Sage's formula to accurately represent bloom to the player.

All Halo games have had spread, just not to the extant of Reach.

 

[Kuroyume]

That right there is what makes the pistol nerf so goddamn frustrating. Just way to fuck everything up. Nerf the pistol and beef up the stupid bullet hose that already had sniper range. Typical Bungie.

Great article, Ghal. Solid suggestions. That rockethog video is painful to watch. Such a terrible vehicle against infantry, you're better off just hopping in the passenger seat with an AR. Hell, it's not that great against ground vehicles either, unless you're at point blank range or stationary.

Ghal, You threw a bone of joy to me. I try to get it. But I'm not sure if I get it. I hope 343i will give me the bone.

Spoiler

I hope the metaphor works

The idea of the 3-sides Firefight is so awesome.I want to play it. now. right now. And I totally agree about the hog and that the new firefight map needs a solo-vehicle like a Revenant or Ghost/Banshee. It would be great to see a Falcon in a Firefight game, but then the map needs a lot of banshees or Anti-air enemies on the ground.

Except the part where it effectively gimps precision weapons because they want AR kids to get kills without even aiming.

Wait, what? When you watch that AR video, all you see is us complaining about bloom?

Seriously, that video makes me never want to play an AR starts gametype ever again.

Thank you for posting the video proving my point. People don't understand that Sage Merrill has emancipated us from the lying, cheating piece of scum reticule in previous Halo games. However to be fair to the previous designers of Halo games when the original came out we were all whiny 12 year olds and didn't care for such petty things. Thank God, the sun, stars and moon that Bungie realised that we would no longer accept this kind of fake, inaccurate reticule especially in the HD generation where everything is much clearer. What we need to accept is Halo is bloom and bloom is Halo.
